Hey,

I have installed Vista prem. final after running the beta from day one
(clean install). I have also run into some hardware issues with drivers as a
lot of other people have. Here's 2 products that quote no Vista support and
got working.

HP 5470c scanjet, (NO VISTA SUPPORT PER HP) installed the XP Precisionscan
Pro 3.1 software/drivers, a few errors on install but, after a reboot, it
works perfect and I use it alot, no problems. USB XP drivers worked with out
a problem.

Creative labs DI5655 voice modem, used for an aswering machine, again,
quoted it would never have vista support (4+ years old), installed the XP
driver, works with out any problems. It does everything it did under Windows
XP.

a few other items I got working also but, this is the main things I wanted
to show people, insted of dumping hardware, it might be worth a shot, till
correct vista drivers come out for it (if it will be supported). If it does
not work, I would make sure you uninstall the driver.

Question about your voice modem. Before you installed the XP drivers what
were the symptoms when used as answering machine in Vista? Did it work at
all for answering machine functions?
I ask because in my case... with a different brand modem... I can receive
incoming messages but callers do not hear my outgoing greeting. Complete
silence.

Under Vista, it detected it as a PCI modem but, could not find drivers.

As for the drivers for this modem, it worked under XP with out any issues
(CID didn't work and still does not work for this modem) but, over all, all
features, voice and fax work.

As for your modem, I would say a driver or a hardware problem. To get voice
functions under 2000/XP or vista, you will need to have a "Unimodem Audio
device" under your device manager (under "sound, video and game
controllers"). If that did not come up, the modem does not support it, or
the driver you installed does not support it.

Did that help ?

I used XP drivers often throughout the beta period, and many of them worked
perfectly.

I have the same scanner (HP 5470c), with UAC turned off, NO errors on
install
of Precisionscan software, and ALL features of the software are working
perfectly
(Vista Ultimate x86).

Cool, I saw too many people here saying that their scanner/modem/printer has
no vista driver and they were saying time to replace. So I wanted to post
telling people to try the XP drivers before dumping it.

Apparently I'm doing something wrong. I just got a new Compaq w/Vista and am
trying to connect my HP ScanJet 5470c. No success. I'm getting in IE Script
Error. HELP!

You could try registering vbscript and jscript (not certain which is required --
I think vbscript).

First uninstall any software that you have installed and disconnect the scanner
and reboot.

Type cmd in the Start Search box above the Start Orb. When cmd.exe appears at
the top of the Start Menu, right click on it and select "Run as Administrator"
(an "elevated" command prompt).

Then type into the Command window:

regsvr32 vbscript.dll

After you get a message that the registration was successful type:

regsvr32 jscript.dll

And wait for the message that the registration was successful.

Then try the scanner install again.
